An intoxicated Lower Saucon Township man fired six shots at a pumpkin Wednesday night while his son slept in a nearby apartment, police said.

Christopher Green, 30, of the 2200 block of Koehler Drive, is charged with recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. He is being held on $10,000 bail.

Police responded to a report of gunshots in a residential area at 10:12 p.m. Wednesday. Landlord Ryan Regec told police he heard six rounds from a semi-automatic gun, court documents said. Regec checked on tenants while police checked the area.

Regec found Green at the rear of the apartment shooting at a pumpkin across the street, police said. During the investigation, Green's speech was slurred and his balance unsteady, police said.

Green's son was found sleeping in the living room about 5 feet away from where he was shooting, police said. The .22 caliber Ruger MK III was found in the same room, police said.
